Meeting The Billiards.

The time when we should prepare for
the winter is at hand and naturally
everyone looks around to see how he can
expend his money to the best advantage,
and II he takes the trouble TO enquire, he
soon finds that Wolfson's Is the place,
because, in the first place, there is u
large stock of all kinds Of winter goods
to select from, and in the second place,
quality considered, it is the cheapest.
For instance, he has a large assortment
OF blankets, white. COlOred or California,
which are offered for sale at from Sl.l5
TO $50 per pair, and are in every case
good value for money. There, too, you
can get bedding of all kinds that you
will lind cheap and comfortable during
the winter months. However, satisfy
yourself by calling at the store, and ex-
anime the goods. Then you will find as
others have done, that you get good bar
gains at WOlfsOn's.

Was Ever America Discovered?

At the time when Columbus started in search
Of the New World, nearly every man, woman
and child in Europe insisted that there was no
New World to discover. when he came back.
crowned with success, Il large proportion of
these good people adhered to their theory;
wOuld doubtless insist that Amer ca had never
been discovered at all A man will give up
anything in the world more readily than pet
theory. For example, look at the individuals
who still maintain that consumption is incur
able. Dr. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery
has curad thousands upon thousands OF cases,
and will cure thOuEands more, but thcs these
people can't give up their point. Nevertbe-
less the discovery" will cure any case of
consumption, If taken in time.

NO REPUBLICAN CLUBS.

NO REPUBLICAN CLUBS.
The democracy of the country resent
as an unjustifiabe SANDER all assertions
charging that the ballot boxes of the
southern states are practically closed to
colored voters. They have sent the loud
mouthed denial ringing down the oorri-
doris of time, affirming that there is q
free ballot and fair count In every
state of this union, and that the solid
south is in no sense dependent upon q
suppressed BALLOT for Its democratic
unity. The facts OF depicted votes in all
these states, the associated facts OF over
whelming colOred populations and
the well known republiGanism OF the
mass Of cOlOred voters In these states
have all to be ignored and the charge re-
ferred to changed sentiment or the
part of the oolored voters VINO, it is
said, naturally follow the lead of their
former masters. Al this is mere bun
comb. There are tens of thousands OF
coloTed voters n every southrrn
state outside Of Texas, and thou
sands in Texas, practically dis
1ranchised every year through the Oppr-
ations of democratic suppressions. Bal
lots cast are not counted; poll tax re-
oeipts which are coDjured away from
colored men on spacious pretenccs a,e
made a sins qua non Of voting privilege,
and In hundred ways, just a. effective
but less open and without violence, the
negro votes in several of the states are
practically negatIved. This fact comes
very pertinently into view in the sub
Joined letter of x-COngressman Lynch,
Of Mississippi, who was temporary
chairman Of the last Republican NatiOnPl
convention.
This letter was written in reply to
communication referring to the ap
preaching National convention OF re-
publican clubs which is to be held in
New York the week following the as
sembling Of the National republi-
can executive committee. Concerning
this convention Of republic clubs ex-
Congressman Lynch, OF Mississippi,
says:
"1Our movement, / think. is an excel
lent one and will result in the accom-
plishment Of much good. | do not
know, however, OF the existence of a
single republican club in this state, re-
publican voters here being completely
and effectuaIly disfranchised through
violence and fraud, and the election of
Mr.. Cleveland being construed as q ma
tiOnal endorsement OF these methods,
they have no option in the matter, but
to remain for the time being inactive
The voters are here, however, in suffi-
Gent numbers, ready and anxious to
vote, and they will not fall to discharge
their duty whenever they have reason
to believe that the election will be fair
and the count honest"
This letter tells its own story, and il
Ia story that could be truthfully re-
peated in everyone OF the southern
states east of the Mississippi river. The
solid south will remain solid Just as long
as the cOlored voter can be defrauded Of
his franchise and no longer. The tenure
OF the democratic party depends solely
upon The suppression Of the oolored
voters of four states.

ROBERT GARRETT denies in the most
emphatic manner that the Baltimore
and Ohio telegraph lines were any ex-
pense to the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
way company, but that contrary wise it
has been q source of revenue to that
company. The sale Of the line to the
Western Union is bitterly resented by
Mr.. Garrett. The swallowing of this
line by the Western Union will be the
beginning of the end Of the telegraph
